Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking.

  2. 2

    Grease the Baking Pan

    Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar size pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 4

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Baking

  1. 6

    Pour Batter

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 8

    Cool

    Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
